Freedom of Information

Introduction

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 places duties on all public authorities, including Police and Crime Commissioners.

The act is part of a wider initiative to make government and its decision-making processes more open and accountable. It also provided authorities with an opportunity to review their openness and accessibility.

Any individual or body has the right to seek access to information held by the authority. This includes both a right to be told whether the information exists as well as the right to receive it.

By law the Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire and Swindon is required to publish certain information. Details of this can be found under the Statutory Information page.

Responses to previous FOI requests can be viewed on the disclosure log.
